All in a Night's Work (1961)

In the heart of a bustling city, Colonel Ryder, the charismatic publisher of a popular magazine, meets an untimely demise while on vacation. His carefree nephew, Tony, inherits the reigns, stepping into the world of publishing with a swing in his stride. As the magazine stands on the brink of expansion, the need for capital becomes pressing. Tony, navigating the labyrinth of corporate finance, seeks a loan through a trusted friend. However, the ghost of a scandal threatens to upend their plans. A hotel detective, from the very establishment where the Colonel breathed his last, spins a tale that could tarnish the magazine's wholesome image forever. He recounts the mysterious incident of a woman, clad only in a towel, fleeing the Colonel's room on the night of his death. The hint of a smile lingering on the deceased's face fuels suspicion, painting a vivid picture of a clandestine encounter. Tony, along with two confidants from his uncle's circle, fear the repercussions - a jeopardized loan and a smeared reputation. They decide to keep the detective close, hoping he can identify this elusive woman. Little do they know, the woman they seek is closer than they think. Katie Robbins, one of the magazine's dedicated researchers, is the lady in question, her presence in the Colonel's room a mere "accident." As the detective eventually identifies Katie and following a series of misunderstandings, they suspect her of blackmail, while she perceives Tony as wildly eccentric. Amidst this chaotic mix of suspicion and confusion, the plot thickens, spiralling towards a climax that promises to be as engaging as it is unexpected.
